This is a great fix-ahead main dish. It is great served in pita pockets.

1 cup finely chopped fresh parsley
1 t dried oregano
½ t dried basil
10 pitted ripe olives, halved
1 (14-ounce) can quartered artichoke hearts marinated, drained

1 serving = 1 ¼ cups

***On the dressing, I added a little more olive oil and sugar as I thought it was a little tart – add what you need to for you ☺
***When I did the chicken, I baked 3 chicken breasts, which was 3 cups exactly. I also rubbed some seasoning on the chicken before I baked it. I think it would also be good with baked or grilled chicken that had been marinated in Italian dressing.
